Calculate the percent activity of the radioactive isotope strontium-89 remaining after 5 half-lives.

Chemistry

maria [59]3 years ago

The answer to this question would be: 3.125%

Half-life is the time needed for a radioactive molecule to decay half of its mass. In this case, the strontium-89 is already gone past 5 half lives. Then, the percentage of the mass left after 5 half-lives should be:
100%*(1/2^5)= 100%/32=3..125%

When ammonium chloride crystals are dissolved in water, the temperature of the water decreases. What does the temperature change
sertanlavr [38]

Answer:

See Explanation

Explanation:

A decreasing temperature indicates that the dissolution process for the ammonium chloride requires input of energy from surroundings. That is, the process is essentially 2 parts => system (object of interest - NH₄Cl) and the surroundings (everything else - solvent - H₂O). The surroundings (water) solvent is showing a <u>measured</u> decrease in temperature or loss of energy (exothermic to surroundings) which flows into the system (NH₄Cl) and effects dissolution of salt into solution (endothermic to system).

C2H2 +<br> 02 --&gt;<br> CO2 +<br> H20
svlad2 [7]

Answer:

Explanation: This reaction is called a synthesis reaction. This is because a synthesis reaction is when two or more reactants combine/react together to form a single product. The two reactants carbon (C) and oxygen (O2) reacted together to form one single product: carbon dioxide (CO2)

Name two compounds with more exothermic lattice energies than scandium oxide and justify your choice.
N76 [4]

Answer:

1 . Al_2O_3

2. TiO_2

Explanation:

The more stable the ionic compound, the more is it lattice energy.

  • The more the charge on the cation and the anion, the greater is the lattice energy.
  • The less the size of the cation and the anion, the greater is the lattice energy.

Scandium oxide (Sc_2O_3) is an oxide in which Sc^{3+} behaves as cation and O^{2-} behaves as anion.

The compounds which has higher lattice energy than scandium oxide are:

1 . Al_2O_3

This is because the charge are same on the cation and the anion as in the case of the Scandium oxide but the size of the cation Al^{3+} is smaller than Sc^{3+}. Thus, this corresponds to higher lattice energy.

2. TiO_2

This is because the charge on the cation Ti^{4+} is greater than that of Sc^{3+} and also the size of the cation Ti^{4+} is smaller than Sc^{3+}. Thus, this corresponds to higher lattice energy.

How many of grams of CuSO4 are in 475ml of a 2.0M aqueous solution
Anettt [7]

Answer:

151.63 g

Explanation:

We first get the number of moles;

Moles = Molarity × volume

          = 2.0 × 0.475

          = 0.95 moles

1 mole of CuSO4 = 159.609 g/mol

Therefore;

Mass = moles × molar mas

         = 0.95 moles × 159.609 g/mol

         = 151.63 g
